Chidiebere Onyia, the secretary to the state government , in a statement, on Tuesday, lamented the incessant destruction of the facilities by some"unpatriotic" individuals in the state.
"The incessant attacks on water infrastructure such as destruction of water galleries, electrical fittings on solar lights attached to water facilities, damage of both high pressure and distribution pipes by these hoodlums have denied many of the innocent citizens of the state access to potable water with a huge cost on the government for replacement," he said.
Mr Onyia said the state government has resolved to protect all public facilities by"reinforcing security surveillance around these facilities, prosecuting anybody or group of individuals caught in this act of sabotage." He stressed that contractors and construction companies that cause any damage to water facilities or any other public facility will be prosecuted and also forced to replace the damaged facility.
